I began studying essential oils and their medical benefits along with some friends in 2015 after we'd been struggling with various chronic health conditions. Initially, I was skeptical of the effectiveness of essential oils, but became a 'believer' after learning that there are oils that naturally come from plants and experiencing their positive effects firsthand. So we began experimenting with various personal care, cosmetic, home care, and cleaning products.
Of the items we experimented with, aroma soap was my favorite. It's one of the most basic, useful, and practical items we all use on a daily basis. After making it for myself, I began sharing with friends. Then came the requests... Now, I'm more than happy to have the opportunity to share my soap with everyone.
I really hope you like it!

Born and raised in NE Ohio. Further educated in NW Ohio. Seasoned in rural Japan.
Growing up taking various medications for allergies, asthma, and A.D.D., I've come to rely as much as I can on willpower and diet to bob-and-weave around 'ailments'. Upon finding a measure of relief from each following an international move, I felt pretty good about my health. I tend towards skepticism, even cynicism, when it comes to anything where vast profits can be had by convincing individuals of... well, anything. So, I cautiously eased into the world of essential oils. Once I tried some for relief from injuries and ailments, I experienced real results.
Now that we've rid our home of artificial fragrances, I can't go back. It was much easier switching from the big-name soap brand I'd used almost my entire life--that my mother swore by--to soap that I made myself and got to choose the 'flavor'. Especially so knowing exactly what was going into it. It's been over 6 years since our first try at it and I recommend everyone try some quality soap. Even if it's not ours!
Thanks for visiting!
I hope all are faring well in these challenging times.
P.S. - Wash your hands! :D
